I’ve been thinking about this for some time, and came to the conclusion that it is much more better that the one in the previous task, but some improvements are still exist. Suggestions for this plot are the following:
two blue tints might be confusing (especially in terms of new cases and recovered people)
we cannot really compare the number of new and recovered cases, such way of presentation (bars at the bottom + top) is also confusing
I believe that this data can be presented in two other ways:
bars with 2 bars for each type of case (option 1, just a first idea which came to my mind, and didn’t succeed)
trending line (option 2, main idea)
I decided to stop at the option 2 with line graph. Why? Although, barchart is the known as the simplest visualization, it turned out that still I can not perceive and interpret the visualized data right, so I decided to rework a plot once again. My second choice was a line plot that is used for trends in time, and this was perfect match!
First of all, I connected the lines with infoboxes by colors, so the reader can understand lines better without a legend. Also, I’ve added infoboxes (which are valueboxes actually) that are similar to the originals picture.
For this task, my tool was plotly, because 1. I want to dive deeper into its syntax, and 2. I think that interactive visualization is cool for this case, since we see not only trend but can check the exact point.

Here you see the original plot.
How it can be improved?
